The Big 12 is a horse race, I'm just curious how good their horse is, is he a full head above the rest or just a nose. Saturday will be revelatory of both WVU and Baylor, neither who have cemented an identity for 2012 just yet.

They have BY FAR the best college QB. People talking up Barkley and Landry were honestly folks who didn't watch them much or were insanely biased. Both very solid players but Geno Smith is hands down the best offensive player in the country and its very likely the 2nd best happens to be Tavon Austin.

WVU is average defensively but they have an offense that can hang 30 on Alabama.

As far as today it was rumored WVU was going to work on some specific aspects of their game and it would be close.

WVU is basically Oregon with a great QB.

:laugh2: Big 12 homer.
Hey, if i'm not mistaken, you get to remove that ACC banner at the end of the month!
Thanks for being cool about it.

bama has a dominating OL and a great defense but they are young on defense and skill positions on offense aren't equipped to win games.

lsu is very, very good but inconsistent series to series.

ND is very good as well thanks to the best defense they've fielded in a decade. but the "good" qb is just a baby and has to get better.

tavon austin is a r1 NFL draft pick without question. the "Experts" will all agree by the end of the year. yes he is small but he is both quick an fast. this is the next wes welker. like welker a former rb who is tougher than nails while being impossible to cover and possessing great hands.

WOW, I wish I was as confident as you are. I do think WVU is very good, but anything can happen, ... and playing week in and week out in the Big 12 will be very challenging.

So far I like Dana Holgerson a lot too.

Someone on this board, maybe in this thread, thinks TA is a 5th round NFL pick. I didn't even respond. I don't know how high he will go, but I think it will be before the 5th round.
